z
Never dry rubber articles, or any plastic items or film, eg plastic lined
tablecloths andbaby bibs.
z
Clothes should go through the cool down/airing phase in the final part of the cycle.
This ensures items are left at a temperature where they will not be damaged. Ifforany
reason the dryer is stopped before the cycle has finished, dry clothes should be
removed immediately and not left in the dryer. Clothes should be quickly spread out
flat to cool so heat can dissipate, not left bunched up, eg in a clothes basket.
z
Do not operate this product without the lint filter in place or allow lint to accumulate in
or around the dryer.
z
This dryer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the dryer by a person responsible
for their safety.
z
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the dryer.
z

7
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
z
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
z
Do not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity:
MODEL MAXIMUM CAPACITY (KG)
DH9060P2 9
DH9060PG2 9
*Capacity refers to the maximum dry weight of items the dryer can dry at any one time
z
Never put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may cause an
electrical hazard.
z
Do not under any circumstances dry an electric blanket or any other electrical, plastic
or rubber items in your dryer, unless the care label specifically states it is safe to do so.
Never dry these items at high temperatures.
z
Do not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during drying.
z
Do not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing.
z
Never run the dryer without the water tank in place.
z
If the water tank becomes full, the tumble dryer will pause drying and will sound an
alarm. You must empty the water tank before the dryer can continue drying. Empty the
tank, replace it back in the housing then press
to resume the cycle.
Lint
z
Accumulated lint in the dryer can become a fire hazard; it also reduces the efficiency of
the dryer by causing longer drying times and increased power consumption.
z
Clean the lint filter before every load.
z
Ensure the area around the dryer is clear of lint.
z
At regular intervals have the interior of the dryer cleaned of any accumulated lint.
This must be done by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
This must be done when the dryer installation is changed from free standing.
z
If the lint filter becomes damaged, contact your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician to arrange getting a new filter. Do not operate your dryer with a
damaged lint filter or without the filter in place, as this will cause damage to your dryer.
Spontaneous combustion
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
z
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil are a fire
hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
z
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources
such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm causing an oxidation reaction in the
oil. This oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape the items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from
escaping creating a fire hazard.
z
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable oil, cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent — this will reduce, but not eliminate the fire
hazard. The cool down cycle of the dryer should be used to reduce the temperature
ofthese items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer and piled or
stacked while hot.
8
z
Items that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
flammable liquids or solids, eg petrol/gasoline, kerosene, dry cleaning solvents,
vegetable or cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, some brands of spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers or other flammable or explosive substances should
not be placed in a tumble dryer.
z
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
z
The dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
z
Fabric Softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to
eliminate the effects of static electricity, unless this practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.
z
Rubber backed articles, foam rubber (latex foam), clothes or pillows fitted with
foam rubber pads, fibreglass, shoes containing rubber, shower caps, babies waterproof
napkin covers and waterproof textiles should not be dried in the dryer. These materials
can when heated produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
z
When using STREAM REFRESH on unwashed clothing ensure there are no flammable
substances on them.
Disposal
z
Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards.
z
When disposing of the dryer, it is recommended that the door is removed to avoid
children getting trapped inside, and that the electrical cable is cut off close to the dryer.

Timed cycles
When a timed cycle is selected the machine dries for the selected time regardless
ofthelevel of moisture in the load. It is important to check the items throughout thetimed
programmes to avoidover drying. Timed cycles include
TIME DRY, RACK DRY and WOOL.
Timed programmes of 10 to 150 minutes can be selected using the
MORE
and
LESS buttons.
When the dryer has sensed that the load is dry it
will automatically go into an airing or cool down
cycle. DuringCOOL the drum tumbles and cool air
is blown throughthe clothes. This cools the load to
reduce creasing ifthe clothes are left in the dryer.
Airing/Cool down
Time to go
Your dryer displays approximately how many
minutes the cycle you are running has remaining if
you have chosen one of the TIME DRY cycles. Ifyou
have chosen an automatic cycle (ie not TIME DRY)
the word will appear on the screen until it
reaches the cool down phase, atwhich time the
dryer will display how long the cycle has left to go.
A number of factors can influence the overall cycle
time, eg the fabric type of garments, load size, the
wetness of the load, environmental conditions etc.

DRY PREPARATION
Sorting
Sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sortintoloads of similar items,
and loads that will likely take similar times to dry. Heavier items (egtowels, and flannelette
sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (egsynthetics, polyester-cotton
sheets and shirts). This prevents thepossibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst
others are still damp. Itwillalso help to extend the lifeofyour clothing and linen.
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and
howthegarment should be dried. Always follow the advice on the garment labels.
Onlydryitems in this dryer that have a care label stating tumble drying is suitable.
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease thechance
of wrinkles forming, and dye transfer from coloured items to white items fromoccurring.
Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when new. Colour
run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle.

15
Before you load
z
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer.
z
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/
doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer
and your clothes.
z
Items of clothing with screen-printing should be turned inside out toprevent
damage to the print.
z
Check the lint filter is clean and the water tank is empty (if the dryer is not set up
todrain automatically).
Loading
z
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to
ensurethe load is dried evenly.
z
Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely. Load the dryer in terms of
the space the garments take up when dry, rather than when they are wet.
z
Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly and reduce tangling.
z
Dry permanent press garments (business shirts) together on the EASY IRON cyclewith
the WRINKLE FREE option on. This will help reduce wrinkling and the need forironing.
Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
Drying times
z
Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
z
Heavier items (towels, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
z
Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed
suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
z
Check bulky items during the cycle to ensure even drying, pause the dryer and reposition
the item if necessary.
Lint
Some items are lint givers, while others are lint collectors. Always dry lint givers
and collectors separately.
LINT GIVERS LINT COLLECTORS
Towels Synthetics, eg polar fleece
Flannelette sheets Corduroy
Polyester cottons
Delicate or easily damaged items (eg nylon stockings, fine fabrics, delicate embroidered
fabrics) should be dried separately, using the
DELICATE or WOOL cycle, or if you do not want
them tumbled use the RACK DRY cycle.

Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring
cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your dryer.
Cleaning the inside of your dryer
It is important to occasionally clean the inside of your dryer. If the drum has anyresidual
dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Donot leave any
metal objects in the drum, as these may cause rust.
Cleaning the filters
Cleaning the door lint filter
Lint is generally formed during wearing and washing. Fibres (ielint) released from
theclothes during the drying cycle are collected in the lint filter.
It is important to clean the door lint filter after every load, as the lint produced in the drying
process can become a fire hazard if it is allowed to accumulate in or around your dryer.
A warning light will flash at the start of every cycle to remindyou to clean the door lint
filter, then turns off once youpress
